06/02/2010: "%^*& Cops"
So, last weekend, some of my classmates and I went out to eat, then they wanted to head to a local bar/pool hall. No prob, I wasn't drinking, I could drive.
As we're leaving, we notice flashing lights, don't think too much of it, until they pull right behind me at a red light.. and then continue to follow me as I pull over. I've barely gotten out of the parking lot at this point, so I have no idea what the heck could be wrong.
I pull into a gas station parking lot, trying to ignore my intoxicated passengers, when the cop says he pulled me over for not having my headlights on. ?!?!?!? They came on automatically when I turned on the vehicle. He goes and runs my license, while one of my passengers gets out of the vehicle and proceeds to make sure that every light on the thing works (duh, its a rental, its gonna be ok) which leaves us even more confused.
Guy comes back, and says he's just going to give me a warning (frickin' better not have given me a ticket, or I'd have had to challenge him to show me how to turn the headlights off, cuz I sure couldn't make them turn off) and that they don't ticket those serving our country unless they've been drinking (soo.... the approx 100 yards he saw me drive made him think I was drinking? Huh?)
*growl*
*deep breath*
I have definitely figured out why Southerners do everything so slowly - its the only way to not die of heat exhaustion. And its barely June. *groan*
This morning woke to find out that it was cooler outside than in... the A/C (that hasn't been working great since I got here) managed to completely die overnight. It is not fun sweating your butt off when all you have on the bed is a sheet. Having to take two showers a day... *bleargh*
I hate this climate.
School itself has been going pretty good so far. I'm definitely glad for the college networking classes that I've taken - half the class is completely lost because they just don't have enough background with networking equipment (since we do sooo much more than networking, we don't always get a chance to work it).
Hey, lookie, an actual picture of me! Doing pushups!
This is from our PT test last week. Totally not fun, but you get to see me doing Army stuff! :)
